Article Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common head and neck malignancy. Here, we evaluated the expression of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) and toll-like receptors 4 (TLR4) in OSCC tissues with immunohistochemistry. Using biostatistical methods designed to assess the impact of the expression of CIRP and TLR4 on the prognosis of patients with OSCC and relate that expression to the clinicopathological characteristics of these patients. For the first time, we demonstrated that the expression of CIRP and TLR4 was increased in OSCC and that high levels of CIRP or TLR4 expression were associated with a short survival rate. In addition, we were surprised to find that the levels of expression of CIRP and TLR4 were very similar. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether these two genes may provide clues as to the regulatory mechanisms of OSCC, serve as prognostic markers and establish a new direction for further studies of these biological mechanisms.

Background: Ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, but efforts to develop efficacious neuroprotective therapy face ongoing challenges. Efferocytosis, the phagocytic clearance of dying cells, by microglia is crucial for limiting neuroinflammation and promoting stroke resolution. Extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP) is an inflammatory mediator which impairs macrophage bacterial phagocytosis in sepsis and radiation injury, but its role in microglial efferocytosis in ischemic stroke has not yet been studied.

Cold‑inducible RNA‑binding protein (CIRP) is a cold shock protein implicated in the regulation of multiple biological processes depending on its cellular localization. However, to the best of our knowledge, the role of CIRP in liver regeneration and injury after hepatectomy has not been investigated. The present study was therefore designed to explore whether CIRP is involved in liver regeneration after hepatectomy and its specific role and underlying molecular mechanism.

Article Synopsis
- - Sepsis often causes high lactate levels and acute lung injury (ALI), with clinical studies linking elevated lactate to higher mortality in septic patients.
- - Researchers found that during sepsis, lactate triggers changes in cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) within macrophages, leading to the release of CIRP, which then interacts with pulmonary vascular endothelial cells (PVECs) to promote cell death pathways.
- - The study reveals that lactate-induced CIRP release stabilizes Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) in PVECs, exacerbating ALI through a cell death mechanism known as PANoptosis, emphasizing a potentially new target for treating sepsis-related complications. *

Article Synopsis
- Sepsis is a serious condition caused by the body's strong reaction to infections, and a protein called eCIRP can make it worse by causing inflammation and organ damage.
- Researchers found that eCIRP can make special liver cells called Kupffer cells work in a harmful way, leading to more inflammation when sepsis occurs.
- Their experiments showed that eCIRP increases certain markers that indicate inflammation in healthy mice but not in mice that can't respond to eCIRP, meaning the TLR4 pathway is important in how eCIRP affects sepsis.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) continues to pose a major challenge as targeted therapeutic interventions are absent. Mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis are involved in the pathogenic mechanisms of AP. CIRP is a stress-response protein and a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule.
